John De La O was born in 1982 in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and studied at the School of Visual Art in NY. His works deal with the subjects of consumption, sexuality, the media and pop culture in general. His solo show at Sohotel Artspace Gallery continues to elaborate and build on the themes of his most recent work.

About the Gallery:

Out of a vision to increase awareness and interest in international artists, Sohotel Artspace Gallery NYC was born. Presenting largely unseen artists and international artists whose work is rarely or never exhibited outside of Europe, Sohotel Artpsace is a springboard for international artists to be seen in the U.S.

Sohotel Artspace Gallery directors Catherine Testorf and Elizabeth Rosso travel extensively throughout Europe and, most recently, the Carribean, searching for artist diversity. Their goal is to encourage free expression to young, emerging artists and to provide a stage through exhibitions and art shows where they can share their creativity and passion.
